Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: Christianity Today
reports that only
about one-third of Protestant pastors in the US believe in a literal rapture before a literal tribulation.
Cal Thomas, conservative, Christian, and syndicated columnist, on
why Christians should not depend on politics to fix our problems.
Computing: Gizmo's Freeware reports, briefly, on a free
substitute for Office.
The Environment: From Wired:
“Trying to solve congestion by making roadways wider is like trying to solve obesity by buying bigger pants.” But, in
a special case, widening highways seems to have helped traffic flow.
Food: Relevant reports that
someone has invented a pizza
box made out of pizza.
Health: National Public Radio and other sources report that you
can get the same surgery for considerably different prices in
different places in the US.
History: A viking
longship, powered by sail and oars, has set sail from Norway to North America, according to the History Blog.
An airconditioning system has been found in a tower in Kuwait, dating to about the 7th century, according to the History Blog.
Listverse discusses 10 cases where Muslims,
Jews, and Christians protected each other.
Science: Listverse describes 10
bizarre insect predators. The post includes videos of some of these
creatures.

Musings on science, the Bible, and fantastic literature (and sometimes basketball and other stuff).
God speaks to us through the Bible and the findings of science, and we should listen to both types of revelation.
The title is from Psalm 84:11.
The Wikipedia is usually a pretty good reference. I mostly use the World English Bible (WEB), because it is public domain. I am grateful.
